Legendary India all-rounder furious with Pant, suggests a ‘break’ for him
Former Indian all-rounder Madan Lal was furious with Rishabh Pant’s batting performance in Johannesburg’s second innings against South Africa and believes the youngster should be given a rest in Cape Town’s third inning.
Pant aggressive approach has won India’s many matches, which includes twin victories in Australia last January – in Sydney and in Brisbane with his fourth-innings heroics. But the same approach saw him getting dismissed for a duck in the second innings when he looked to go over the top.
The dismissal has drawn a lot of criticism with the legendary Sunil Gavaskar slamming him for his needless shot. Madan too joined the debate opining that although he is a “match-winning player”, Pant needs to understand that he is batting for the team and not for himself. He even suggested that the team management should rather give him a break and bring in Wriddhiman Saha for the Cape Town Test.
“He deserves a break. You have guys like Wriddhiman Saha. He’s a sensible batsman. He’s a really good goalkeeper. But Pant has to decide how he wants to bat in Test cricket. If he has any doubts in his mind, it’s better to let him rest. He’s a player who can win games, but you can’t hit the ball like that. You have to fight for the team and not for yourself,” he said on Aaj Tak.
Answering an ANI query on Thursday, after India’s seven-wicket defeat in Johannesburg, head coach Rahul Dravid admitted that there is a need for a conversation with Pant regarding the shot selection.
“In a sense, we know Rishabh is a positive player and he plays in a special way that makes him successful. But, of course, sometimes, we have a level of dialogue with him. , it’s just about timing that shot, you know. No one’s going to tell Rishabh not to be an aggressive or aggressive player. Sometimes it’s about timing to do it,” Dravid said.
“When you first come in, it will be wiser to give yourself more time. We know what we have achieved with Rishabh. He is a very active player. He is a person who can change the course of the game for us. So we Won’t take this away from him and ask him to be different. It’s about determining when is the right time to attack. He is learning, he plays in a certain way, but he will continue to learn,” he added.

According to reports, Jimmy Kimmel is quitting the Late Night programme.
According to reports, Jimmy Kimmel is thinking about leaving his late-night show to devote more time to his son Billy’s continuous struggle with congenital heart problems.
This week, a number of people with knowledge of the situation disclosed that Kimmel intends to leave Jimmy Kimmel Live! after his contract expires in 2025 in order to spend more time with his wife Molly McNearney, who co-head writes the show.
Kimmel’s choice, according to Radar Online, is a result of Billy’s health issues, especially in the wake of Billy’s most recent third open-heart surgery. But now he’s a “healthy kid.”
The Late Night presenter shared the news on Instagram in late May, saying, “We went into this experience with a lot of optimism and nearly as much fear and came out with a new valve inside a happy, healthy kid.”
Sources close to Radar Online claim that the Kimmels are getting ready to step back from the spotlight. According to an informant, Jimmy and his spouse prioritise their family over notoriety. They know what to do financially, so they’re prepared to step back from the spotlight and concentrate on what matters most.
“Life is too short to waste time on a job that brings you no happiness.”
Kimmel’s spokesperson denied the findings.
Even though Kimmel’s publicist denied any talks regarding his possible resignation and called the claim “silly,” especially in light of his son’s recent surgery.
“Though they’ll likely stay busy producing and developing shows behind the scenes, their main focus will be spending precious time with their family,” an insider was quoted by Perez Hilton.
Billy’s congenital heart issue was initially made public by Kimmel in 2017, not long after Billy was born, along with the difficulties his family was facing. Billy was born with a heart condition, according to an echocardiography, a type of cardiac sonography that was performed, Kimmel disclosed on his show.
“Tetralogy of Fallot associated with pulmonary atresia.” In essence, there is a hole in the wall separating his left and right sides of the heart, and the pulmonary valve was totally obstructed.
Three days after his birth, Billy had his first successful open-heart surgery. A few months later, he had another one. Billy had his third operation last month at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. This was his most recent procedure.
